ICC, UNICEF Call For Gender Equity On Eve Of Women's T20 World Cup

By IANS News February 09, 2023 • 12:49 PM View: 919

The International Cricket Council (ICC) and UNICEF have joined hands to promote gender equity, tolerance and inclusion through cricket, as South Africa prepares to host the Womens T20 World Cup, from February 10 to 26.

The latest phase of the partnership -- which was launched in October 2022 -- mobilizes the power of cricket to drive positive social change and to encourage girls and women to play and be empowered by cricket. Sports are a great leveler in society by bringing girls and boys together, whilst promoting leadership and respect.
